    <thetext>The current version of the Korean index reflects KS X 1001:1998.

Perhaps U+327E (CIRCLED HANGUL IEUNG U), the new Korean postal code symbol added to KS X 1001:2002 (Row 2, Column 72), should be included.</thetext>

    <thetext>Re-opening: 

I&apos;m gonna add this to Chrome&apos;s copy of ICU. I simply overlooked this. 

When I worked on Firefox in early 2000, I did add U+327E to Firefox&apos;s EUC-KR table. I don&apos;t know if it has been dropped since.</thetext>

index-euc-kr.txt needs one line after 6436

    <thetext>Ok. My memory was wrong. 

I added (or asked to add) two characters added to KS X 1001:1998 (U+327F and one more) to a couple of converters (glibc-iconv and mozilla) in early 2000&apos;s [0]. However, I didn&apos;t push U+327F (that was added in 2002 to KS X 1001) until 2007. glibc-iconv picked it up and added that to its EUC-KR/ISO-2022-KR/CP949 tables in 2007 [1]. 

As for Mozilla, I filed a bug ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369142 ) around the same time (in 2007) but never fixed it. 

New Korean fonts do cover it (obviously, the font support is NOT related to this issue, though). 

Now back to this issue:  

Practically speaking, it does not matter given that UTF-8 is getting more and more popular. Besides, the number of documents with 0xA2 0xE8 in EUC-KR would be very small, too. 

So, I don&apos;t have a case for this other than my desire to make EUC-KR cover all the characters in the latest KS X 1001 (in 2002).   


[0] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134749 : fixed in 2002

    <thetext>The last paragraph should read:

So, I don&apos;t have a case for this other than my desire to get U+327E more widely used in Korean documents (in whatever encoding) and make HTML5&apos;s EUC-KR cover all the characters in the latest KS X 1001 (in 2002).</thetext>

    <thetext>I think telling folks to use utf-8 is more productive as that also works in older clients.</thetext>
